++ We finally have a new official trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. While I know some are quite apprehensive about how this might take on the American side of the Wizarding World, which is understandable, I'm honestly curious nonetheless. Much like how Rogue One will be a stand-alone precursor to A New Hope, this is also a stand-alone where it expands the universe and allows us to see what else has been happening with the Wizarding World that isn't related to the main plot of the Harry Potter series, and thereby quite different from anything we've seen. Though I'm wondering how well it'll do in theaters since, while I know some fans will most likely flock to see it regardless, I'm not entirely certain how general audiences will react.

++ And the first look at the Gilmore Girls revival just gave me all the nostalgia. Seriously, it was like time stood still since they all look practically the same. I mean, obviously they've gotten older, but they still look so good that it's uncanny. Plus, Melissa McCarthy will be back as Sookie! I'm still surprised and slightly confused that she wasn't approached sooner, especially immediately when the revival was announced, but at least we got her now.

++ Kesha performed at Coachella the other day, courtesy of Zedd, which even with everything she's been going through lately, she gave a powerful performance, being on the platform she deserves to be on with all the love and support of the fans and people around her. She shined so bright even in these dark times. I love her, and support her fully. ♥ ♥ ♥

++ I've been kind of addicted to watching Game Grumps lately. I have no idea when that started, I know I was introduced to them through other YouTube gamers that I watch, and I've seen a few clips here and there (most notably this iconic gem which got me real good the first time I watched it), but I finally got around to watching their series and just been cracking up laughing. It's been kind of the highlight of my nights for the last couple of weeks. So if you're ever in the mood to just laugh hysterically, I highly recommend going through their Best Of compilations which have the best moments of hilarity, since it can range from on topic moments to random absurdity. Fair warning though, they sometimes get into some NSFW conversations, which can often be hilarious too but might catch you off guard if you're not prepared.

I'm intrigued since it's based around just a small book and a small bit of the wizarding world history, so it's new and uncharted territory that will be expanded. I'm a bit nervous of them tackling the American aspect considering the latest controversy, but just from the trailer and description of the film (which will be a trilogy) itself, I'm actually more fascinated with the incorporating the wizarding world and the muggle world together and the conflicts that will emerge from that.

I really love watching people play video games. For me it's a combination of getting introduced to a game I didn't know about before and getting intrigued with the story that you might want to try it yourself someday along with the hilarious/insightful commentary provided by the player themselves. There are quite a few YouTube gamers who are so entertaining to watch and listen to, and the more you watch them the more you feel connected to them in a way. It's the same with any YouTuber, really; even if they all do the same thing, everyone is different with the way they approach their channel, and it allows people to kind of see which person appeals to them the most with the content they post.
